Daniel is a 16 year old boy who is an identical twin. He and his

with their parents in the Midwest. Recently Daniel has been
feeling more tired than usual. He thought it was because of his
schedule and school work, which he is fairly good at. He gets
mostly Bs, but his grades have been slipping of late. One day he
fainted while getting ready for a game. His coach called his
parents to let them know Daniel was taken to the Emergency
Room. While there the doctor decided to admit Daniel to the
hospital for observation. At the time he was running a slight
fever, his breathing was shallow, and he was sweating. He was
also very sleepy and his blood pressure was high. He did have
some abnormal laboratory work, but his doctor was not too
concerned at present. Daniel also stated that he felt achy.
